Chapter VII Direction
Today is Monday, and Wu Jie returned the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that he had already finished reading back to the library. He didn't know what the thin gold body he had written by hand meant to the ancient cultured people, at least at that time.
Speaking of calligraphy, Wu Jie has practiced hard for more than 20 years. One of my father's classmates was a well-known calligrapher in the province, and Wu Jie was sent there by his father when he was six years old to learn to write calligraphy, and he wrote for 20 years, and he practiced the characters well. The slogans and banners in the unit were basically wrapped up by him.
As soon as I entered the library, before the water in the water dispenser boiled, my colleague Aunt Liu ran over: "Xiao Wu, there is such a thing that you should be responsible for, Deputy Director Gu of the Municipal Zhi Office wants to stay with us for a few days, saying that he wants to check some information." ”
"The deputy director of the Municipal Volunteer Office, they don't have any materials there, and they have found our library?" Wu Jie was a little puzzled.
"No, although there is a lot of information in the Municipal Chronicle Office, it is not complete. You have forgotten that during the special period, the Municipal Affairs Office moved a lot of files, and after 30 years, they have not been returned. Also, Deputy Director Jin came for personal matters this time. Aunt Liu looked well-informed, and said mysteriously: "Deputy Director Jin is a well-known historical expert in our province and has published several monographs. This time, I came to check the information, and I guess I want to write a new book. Let's take a look at the previous records. ”
"Oh, I see, he wants to see it, just go and see it himself, what's the matter with us." Wu Jie opened the tea box unhurriedly, waiting for the water to boil while thinking about his thoughts.
He was in a good mood today, and handled the Tang family's divorce beautifully, not only greatly refuting their face, but also getting a lot of money.
As a result, the Tang family not only did not dare to make trouble on the matter of withdrawing from the marriage, but also made a fuss, and this dumb man was doomed.
In the future, whether it is to withdraw from the marriage or marry the Tang family, the initiative is in the hands of him Wu Jie, it depends on the mood.
At that time, the moth was stunned and called out to her several times before she woke up.
It is estimated that my performance as the eldest young master of the Wu family is so good that I frightened that little girl.
Mozi didn't dare to speak for an afternoon, and in the evening, she asked in a low voice: "Young master, why did you suddenly wake up, like a different person, you can write without speaking, and you can still say such a big truth, which makes people a little scared." ”
Wu Jie realized that he was a fool before, and he really had to explain this matter clearly.
So, Wu Jie smiled and said that he was confused before. But after lying in bed for more than ten days, I had a high fever every day, and I don't know why, I burned my heart through, and I could figure out many things. As for being able to write, didn't this young master study in a private school for a few years, and what is so strange about the disciple there?
In this way, the moth can be fooled.
Anyway, she's just an ignorant little girl, it's not easy to deceive her?
……
"Finally a good start!" As soon as he got up, Wu Jie only felt that he was full of energy, and turned on the computer to check the prices in the Ming Dynasty.
During the Jiajing period, because silver from the Americas had not yet been imported into China in large quantities, the price of silver was extremely expensive, and the purchasing power of one tael of silver was equivalent to 1,000 yuan in modern society.
The Tang family returned about fifty taels of silver, that is, he is now worth fifty thousand yuan. Save some flowers, and it will not be a problem to deal with it for two or three years. As for what to do in the future, I, a modern person, a 211 university graduate from a professional class, can I be worse than the ancients?
Well, you have to think about how to make a career in the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, what should I do next in that time and space?
Wu Jie pondered this question all morning, thinking about it a little headache. Objectively speaking, although he has knowledge beyond the ancients, he is a liberal arts student, plus he is a homely, and his hands-on ability is not strong, so he can't do many things, and he doesn't want to do them.
So, what's right for me?
Just as he was troubled, the leader accompanied a man in his fifties to come in, and looking at his flattering look, the middle-aged man should be the deputy director of the Municipal Zhi Office.
Seeing Wu Jie in a daze beside him, the leader's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but criticize Xiao Wu a few words.
That person is Deputy Director Jin, and this time he came to the library to check the information of the Qinglou during the Qing Dynasty in this city, saying that he wanted to write a historical book for both the elegant and the vulgar, and see if he could get a bestseller to exchange for some money.
This guy is a bit of an official's shelf, he is a bad waiter, and the information he wants to check is relatively obscure, Wu Jie was instructed by this birdman to run around the bookshelves in the library for the next two days, and by the way, he helped him copy materials, and he was so tired that his calves cramped.
However, Director Jin still didn't appreciate it, and kept complaining: "The management of your library is too chaotic, and you haven't even done a good job of cataloging." Look at other people's collections, the catalogs and materials are entered into the computer, and a search engine is installed, and when you need to check the book, enter the keyword, that is, it is a matter of a few seconds. ”
Wu Jie couldn't help but glance at him, and scolded secretly: What about the search engine, why don't you go to Baidu?
It was also Director Jin's luck that he was busy in the library for two days and finally collected all the materials. And proudly threw it to Wu Jie: "Xiao Wu, look at the information I am looking for, Niu Dafa, if it is written into a book, are you interested in reading it?" ”
Director Jin has no idea whether the new book he hasn't written yet can be welcomed by readers, and he can't help but ask for advice when he sees Wu Jie these days.
Wu Jie smiled: "If Director Jin really wants to write these into a book, it will definitely be a big hit." Eating and drinking, men and women, people's great desires, everyone likes to watch! ”
In his heart, he was quite disdainful, and the information he was looking for ran down three roads. What is the headless naked corpse in the Xianfeng period, what is the second year of Kangxi, a certain scoop guest in the city likes to lick people's little feet, and a large family climbs ashes...... Is this still a state cadre who has been educated by the party for many years?
But he is a big man, and he still has to say a few baskets of good things.
Wu Jie was originally from a liberal arts background, and he was quite good at speaking, and he scratched Director Jin's itch in just a few words. Unconsciously introduced Wu Jie as a confidant in his life, and asked: "Xiao Wu, listen to you, you are also a very literate person, what did you graduate from university?" ”
When Wu Jie reported the name of the university he studied in before, Director Jin suddenly laughed: "Ah, it turned out to be an alumnus, and I also came from that university." Haha, I'll just say, it's impossible for other universities to come out of the same level as you. ”
Wu Jie didn't treat this guy very well, but since people wanted to recognize him as a junior, he had to shout helplessly: "Senior." ”
"Haha, the matter has been done, and I met you little brother again. I didn't say it, today I'm a senior with joy in my heart, dinner is mine, let's go for a walk, get off work, let's go to Harpy! "Although Director Jin is old, he is full of trendy words, and he is probably not convinced of the old.
"This ...... Why are you embarrassed to break the bank? ”
"Don't do this and that, go for a walk, eat, and go to KTV after eating. Anyway, it is reimbursed by the state, and I don't want you and me to spend money, so I don't eat for nothing. ”
Since it's a meal, you're welcome.
So, Wu Jie simply went to a famous hotel with Director Jin and ordered a table full of dishes. When he was full of wine and food, Director Jin proposed to go upstairs to the private room to sing, and order two more heavenly rooms.
Wu Jie shook his head again and again: "Don't, senior, you and I hit it off at first sight, and when we came out today, we just wanted to find a place to have a good chat." What to do on KTV, very noisy. ”
Director Jin nodded: "Yes, brother, we have cooperated well in the past two days, and it can be said that there are many common languages." It's a pleasure to talk to you, so let's just drink tea and chat. ”
As he spoke, he asked the waiter to withdraw the banquet and put the tea set on the table.
The two drank a few cups of tea, Wu Jie and Director Jin were familiar with each other, and they didn't have as many scruples as before, so they couldn't help but say: "Senior, you are really nourishing this day, today's consumption, how can it be thousands of dollars, it can be reimbursed, and it is good to be a civil servant." ”
Director Jin shook his head: "It's not good to be a civil servant, it's good to be an official!" Like me, that is, the deputy director of the Municipal Zhi Office, Qingshui Yamen, with a clean breeze on both sleeves, but I am many times better than ordinary people. If it is changed to a popular ministry, that guy, you can't even dream of it. I said, brother, you are also a capable person, so you should just go and take the civil service exam. ”
Wu Jie smiled: "If you can't pass the test, the competition is too fierce, I tried, no play, and I gave up that idea." Besides, even if you are admitted, you still have to work from the grassroots level to improve your qualifications. But even if you survive, you may not be able to get through. I'm just a small citizen, and I have no relationship, even if I enter the officialdom, I don't have any future. ”
"Yes, who says it's not, others look at the scenery of civil servants, but in fact, ordinary staff are very miserable, if you don't take up your post, you are a fart." Director Jin drank a little too much today, and sighed a lot: "Didn't I also have high ambitions back then, and I wanted to do a career. But it doesn't matter, I can only stay up in the unit, and I can't be considered a deputy until today. But what can I do, I'm fifty-five years old, and I'm going to retire in a few years. It's still good in ancient times, as long as you get into the Jinshi, you will immediately be the head of a county, and you are at the level of the department! In my opinion, although the ancient imperial examination imprisoned people's minds, it was the fairest in the world. ”
"Imperial examination, imperial examination!" Wu Jie's body froze, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I found it, I found it, I know what to do!" ”
